USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Williamson and its neighboring coalfield communities straddle the Tug Fork river, defining the sharp boundary between West Virginia and Kentucky in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The landscape is a complex network of narrow hollows and steep ridges, where industry and infrastructure are squeezed into the valley floors. The Norfolk and Western railroad snakes through the corridor, serving the intensive extractive operations marked by numerous Strip Mine sites and gas wells.
